Steven tells Liz that whatever he and Rachel had is over, and Liz leaves her brother, still unconvinced that there's something still there between Rachel and Steven.

Rachel meets up with Courtney at the hospital and blackmails Courtney into opening her apartment door to her as her roommate. After Courtney leaves to meet up with Jax, Rachel bumps into Steven and Durant talking and formally meets the federal prosecutor. After Durant leaves, Rachel is impressed by the life and friends Steven has made for himself. Steven, meanwhile, tries hard to read her true motives. Jax and Courtney meet at the park and Courtney asks Jax to take her away to a place where they can elope. Jax talks Courtney out of the eloping idea, saying that he wants to give her the wedding she deserves in front of everyone, and that he's sure it will come after a week, when she's exonerated of AJ's murder. Courtney refrains from arguing and lets Jax go to get prepared for his visit to her apartment. Courtney retreats to her apartment only to find Rachel getting comfortable, and tells Rachel that she wants her gone by the time she gets back.

After the five reps are seated and unarmed, the leader gives Jason everything he needs - if they want to know where Faith is, they need to see Sonny's attorney she was involved with, Justice Ward. Jason and Sam meet Justice at the courthouse and after Sam convinces Justice that Faith is somewhere that he took her, he points them to a secret place where she could be hiding. But when Jason and Sam get there, all they find are Kristina's toys.
